Framed Coastal Landscape Watercolour with Fishing Boats and Pier - A large-scale coastal landscape executed in watercolour with bodycolour highlights on paper.

A long, spindly wooden pier or jetty extends into the choppy sea under an expansive sky filled with grey and blue-toned clouds. The work is rendered in a naturalistic nineteenth-century style, characteristic of British marine painting. It is presented in a deep-profile dark-stained wooden frame with a gilded inner slip and a white window mount. Height: Approximately 71 cm.
